Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural irrigation technology, specifically to an irrigation guide for the roots of fruit trees. Background Technology

[0002] In fruit tree cultivation, irrigation is a crucial element in ensuring tree growth and improving fruit yield and quality. Traditional fruit tree irrigation methods (such as flood irrigation and ordinary drip irrigation) have many drawbacks:

[0003] On the one hand, flood irrigation requires a large amount of water resources, and water is easily lost through surface runoff or deep seepage. Moreover, the uneven distribution of water can easily lead to local drought or waterlogging of fruit tree roots. It can also cause problems such as soil compaction and salinization, which seriously affect root respiration and nutrient absorption. Although ordinary drip irrigation improves water-saving efficiency to a certain extent, the drippers are easily clogged by mud and impurities, resulting in high maintenance costs. In addition, the irrigation range is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the expansion needs of fruit tree roots as the trees age, and it is also less adaptable to the terrain of sloping orchards.

[0004] On the other hand, the distribution of fruit tree roots exhibits distinct hierarchical and regional characteristics, with significant differences in root density areas among different tree ages and varieties. Existing irrigation systems mostly employ a "one-size-fits-all" irrigation model, which fails to accurately deliver water and nutrients to the core absorption area of ​​the root system. This results in low water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, increasing planting costs and potentially affecting fruit tree growth and development as well as fruit quality due to insufficient nutrient supply.

[0005] Furthermore, in large-scale orchard planting scenarios, the ease of assembly and maintenance of irrigation systems is also crucial. Traditional irrigation devices often have fixed pipe connections, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to orchard terrain and tree layout. They also lack effective filtration and protection mechanisms, resulting in high pipe blockage rates after long-term use, further reducing the stability and lifespan of the irrigation system.

[0006] In summary, existing fruit tree irrigation technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of water-saving efficiency, irrigation precision, terrain adaptability, system flexibility, and anti-clogging performance. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a root irrigation guide for fruit trees.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a root irrigation guide for fruit trees, an irrigation component including an irrigation branch pipe with irrigation holes in the pipe wall for uniformly transporting water to the dense root zone of the fruit trees; a guide component including a main irrigation pipe, which is set on one side of the irrigation branch pipe and serves as the main water delivery channel of the orchard irrigation system; and a connecting component including a connecting pipe, which is installed on the main irrigation pipe for extending the main irrigation pipe.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The irrigation assembly also includes: a branch pipe connection section, which is rotatably inserted into both ends of the irrigation branch pipe to extend the overall length of the irrigation branch pipe; a groove, which is formed on the branch pipe connection section, and a convex ring adapted to the groove is fixed to the inner wall of the irrigation branch pipe to provide direction for the rotation of the irrigation branch pipe; an elbow connector, which is connected to two branch pipe connection sections at both ends to change the direction of the irrigation branch pipe; and a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the irrigation branch pipe and the branch pipe connection section to fix the irrigation branch pipe.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The branch pipe connection section has multiple sets of threaded holes, which allow the irrigation branch pipe to rotate in multiple directions around the chute.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The diversion assembly also includes: a diversion connector, connected to the end of the branch pipe connection section away from the irrigation branch pipe, for supplying water to the irrigation branch pipe; an inlet pipe, connected to one end of the diversion connector, for supplying water to the diversion connector; a main pipe connection connector, one end of which is connected to the end of the inlet pipe away from the diversion connector, and the other two ends are respectively connected to the adjacent main irrigation pipes, for extending the length of the main irrigation pipe and connecting the inlet pipe and the main irrigation pipe; and a fixing anchor, with a top clip fixed to the outer wall of the main irrigation pipe and the inlet pipe, and a bottom tip inserted into the soil, for fixing the position of the inlet pipe and the main irrigation pipe.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The shunt connector, main pipe connector, and connecting pipe are all tee pipes.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The connecting components also include: flanges, which are installed in pairs at the connection end between the connecting pipe and the external water source, with a sealing gasket sandwiched in between, for connecting the external water source; and a filter screen, which is located at the connection point between the connecting pipe and the external water source, for filtering out mud, sand, impurities, etc. in the water to prevent them from entering the irrigation branch pipe and clogging the irrigation hole.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The filter screen is detachably installed between the sealing surfaces of the flange to filter impurities in the irrigation water.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Through flexible pipe connections and angle adjustments, precise irrigation of densely rooted areas of fruit trees can be achieved. Irrigation branch pipes can be extended through branch pipe connection sections, and their direction can be changed with the help of elbow connectors. Furthermore, the multiple sets of threaded holes and sliding grooves in the branch pipe connection sections allow the irrigation branch pipes to rotate around them to adjust their angle, ensuring that the irrigation holes in the pipe wall are precisely aligned with the root area, avoiding water waste and improving irrigation efficiency.

[0023] 2. The modular piping and filter-fixed structure balances practicality and stability. The main irrigation pipe is extended through main pipe connectors and connecting pipes, while branch connectors distribute water to various irrigation branch pipes, adapting to orchards with different planting densities. Fixed anchors secure the pipe position and prevent displacement. The removable filter screen at the flange filters impurities in the water, preventing clogging of the irrigation holes. The overall structure is easy to install and maintain, meeting the long-term irrigation needs of orchards. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a root irrigation guide for fruit trees, comprising: an irrigation component including an irrigation branch pipe 11 with irrigation holes in the pipe wall for uniformly delivering water to the dense root zone of the fruit trees; a guide component including a main irrigation pipe 24 disposed on one side of the irrigation branch pipe 11 for serving as the main water delivery channel of the orchard irrigation system; and a connecting component including a connecting pipe 31 installed on the main irrigation pipe 24 for extending the main irrigation pipe 24.

[0035] In this embodiment, the irrigation component, the flow guiding component, and the connecting component constitute a fruit tree root irrigation flow guide according to this application.

[0036] Understandable, Figure 1 The illustration only shows some of the components of the irrigation diverter; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 Due to limitations, irrigation diverters can also include, compared to Figure 1 More or fewer parts.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the main irrigation pipe 24 delivers water to the connecting pipe 31; the connecting pipe 31 extends the main irrigation pipe 24 to expand the water delivery range; the irrigation branch pipe 11 delivers water evenly to the dense root area of ​​the fruit trees through the irrigation holes in the pipe wall; thus meeting the irrigation needs of the fruit tree roots.

[0038] Specifically, the irrigation assembly also includes: a branch pipe connection section 12, which is rotatably inserted into both ends of the irrigation branch pipe 11 to extend the overall length of the irrigation branch pipe 11; a groove 13, which is formed on the branch pipe connection section 12, and a convex ring adapted to the groove 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the irrigation branch pipe 11 to provide direction for the rotation of the irrigation branch pipe 11; an elbow connector 14, which is connected to two branch pipe connection sections 12 at both ends to change the direction of the irrigation branch pipe 11; and a bolt 15, which is threadedly connected to the irrigation branch pipe 11 and the branch pipe connection section 12 to fix the irrigation branch pipe 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the branch pipe connection section 12 extends the length of the irrigation branch pipe 11, and the sliding groove 13 cooperates with the convex ring to realize the rotation of the irrigation branch pipe 11 around the branch pipe connection section 12; the elbow connector 14 changes the direction of the irrigation branch pipe 11; the bolt 15 is tightened to fix the relative position of the irrigation branch pipe 11 and the branch pipe connection section 12; a single irrigation branch pipe 11 can be extended, the rotation angle is adjustable, the elbow connector 14 has precise steering, no water leakage, and no relative displacement after the bolt is fixed.

[0040] Specifically, the branch pipe connection section 12 has multiple sets of threaded holes, which allow the irrigation branch pipe 11 to rotate around the slide groove 13 in multiple directions.

[0041] As a preferred implementation method, after the irrigation branch pipe 11 is rotated around the branch pipe connecting section 12 to the target direction, the bolt 15 is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole to fix the angle of the irrigation branch pipe 11, thereby realizing multi-directional irrigation; the angle adjustment accuracy is improved, adapting to different fruit tree root distribution directions, and the irrigation branch pipe 11 does not rotate after being fixed, resulting in good stability.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the efficiency of diversion irrigation, a flow guiding component is arranged at one end of the branch pipe connection section 12;

[0044] Specifically, the diversion assembly also includes: a diversion connector 22, connected to the end of the branch pipe connection section 12 away from the irrigation branch pipe 11, for supplying water to the irrigation branch pipe 11; an inlet pipe 21, connected to one end of the diversion connector 22, for supplying water to the diversion connector 22; a main pipe connection connector 23, one end of which is connected to the end of the inlet pipe 21 away from the diversion connector 22, and the other two ends are respectively connected to the adjacent main irrigation pipes 24, for extending the length of the main irrigation pipes 24 and connecting the inlet pipe 21 and the main irrigation pipes 24; and a fixing anchor 25, the top of which is clipped to the outer wall of the main irrigation pipe 24 and the inlet pipe 21, and the bottom tip is inserted into the soil, for fixing the position of the inlet pipe 21 and the main irrigation pipe 24.

[0045] In this embodiment, the water source of the main irrigation pipe 24 enters the inlet pipe 21 through the main pipe connection joint 23, and then is diverted to the irrigation branch pipe 11 through the diversion joint 22; the fixed anchor 25 is inserted into the soil to fix the position of the inlet pipe 21 and the main irrigation pipe 24 to prevent the pipe from shifting; the diversion joint 22 and the main pipe connection joint 23 divert the water evenly and without blockage; after the fixed anchor 25 is inserted into the soil, the pipe does not shift and the water delivery process is stable.

[0046] Specifically, the diverter 22, the main pipe connector 23, and the connecting pipe 31 are all tee pipes.

[0047] With this configuration, the three-way structure enables the water source to be split into two (or the two water sources to be merged into one), extending the pipeline length while providing a water source interface for the irrigation branch pipe 11; the three-way pipe has low water flow resistance, improves the efficiency of splitting and merging, has good interface sealing performance, and is leak-free, making it suitable for the irrigation needs of multiple branches.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] Based on Example 2, in order to further improve the efficiency of diversion irrigation, a connecting component is arranged at the connection of the main irrigation pipe 24;

[0050] Specifically, the connecting components also include: flange 32, which is installed in pairs at the connection end of the connecting pipe 31 and the external water source, with a sealing gasket sandwiched in the middle, for connecting the external water source; and filter screen 33, which is located at the connection point between the connecting pipe 31 and the external water source, for filtering out mud, sand, impurities, etc. in the water, and preventing them from entering the irrigation branch pipe 11 and clogging the irrigation hole.

[0051] The flange 32 connects the pipe 31 to the external water source, and the sealing gasket prevents water leakage; the filter screen 33 filters out mud and impurities in the water to avoid clogging the irrigation hole of the irrigation branch pipe 11; the flange 32 has good sealing performance, the filter screen 33 has high filtration efficiency, and the irrigation hole will not be blocked after long-term use, ensuring smooth water flow.

[0052] Specifically, the filter screen 33 is detachably installed between the sealing surfaces of the flange 32 to filter impurities in the irrigation water.

[0053] In this embodiment, the filter screen 33 can be removed for cleaning or replacement by unscrewing the flange 32 bolts and opening the flange 32. During installation, the filter screen 33 is placed between the sealing surfaces and the flange 32 bolts are tightened to fix it. The filter screen 33 has a short disassembly and assembly time, is easy to clean, has low replacement cost, ensures long-term filtration effect, and avoids clogging of the irrigation system.

[0054] In actual use, the external water source first enters the system through the connecting components: the water flows through the flange 32 into the connecting pipe 31. At the connection between the connecting pipe 31 and the external water source, the filter screen 33 filters the water flow, intercepting particles such as mud and impurities, preventing them from entering the subsequent pipes and clogging the irrigation holes of the irrigation branch pipe 11; the sealing gasket between the flanges 32 ensures the sealing of this connection and prevents water leakage.

[0055] The filtered water flows into the main irrigation pipe 24 of the guide assembly. The main irrigation pipe 24 serves as the main water delivery channel of the orchard irrigation system. Its length is extended through the main pipe connector 23. The two ends of the main pipe connector 23 are connected to the adjacent main irrigation pipes 24, and the third end is connected to the inlet pipe 21 to introduce the water flow of the main channel into the inlet pipe 21. The fixing anchor 25 fixes the outer wall of the main irrigation pipe 24 and the inlet pipe 21 with the top buckle and inserts the bottom into the soil (the depth is adapted to the fixing requirements) to ensure that the main water delivery channel does not shift under water pressure or external force.

[0056] The inlet pipe 21 delivers water to the diversion joint 22, which serves as a diversion node connecting the branch pipe connection section 12 to guide the water to the irrigation components. The branch pipe connection section 12 connects to both ends of the irrigation branch pipe 11 via a rotating plug-in method. The groove 13 on its surface engages with the convex ring on the inner wall of the irrigation branch pipe 11, providing rotational guidance for the irrigation branch pipe 11. This allows the irrigation branch pipe 11 to rotate around the axis of the branch pipe connection section 12 to various angles (fixed by bolts 15 and multiple sets of threaded holes on the branch pipe connection section 12), flexibly adapting to the distribution direction of different fruit tree root systems. When it is necessary to change the direction of the irrigation range, the elbow connector 14 connects the two branch pipe connection sections 12 at both ends to achieve a change in the irrigation path (such as a ring or radial layout).

[0057] After directional adjustment, the irrigation branch pipe 11 sprays water evenly through the irrigation holes opened in the pipe wall, directly acting on the dense root area of ​​the fruit tree; the extension function of the branch pipe connecting section 12 can adjust the irrigation range according to the age of the tree, ensuring that water always covers the effective root area, and finally realizes the complete workflow of "from water source filtration to main channel transportation, to branch diversion, to directional adjustment, and finally to precise root irrigation", taking into account both water-saving efficiency and root absorption effect.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
